While we were in Japan, my gourmet sister took us around to a few delicious places around Ginza. One of the places we went was a small waffle shop, not a café but take-out only kind of shop. We went late one evening on weeknight, and it was not busy. My sister told us they […]

Isogiya #3
This is one of our favorite spot in Japan, we visited in 2016 and 2017. Ever since the first visit, we try to go to Isogiya every time we travel to Japan. We got to have a short visit to Japan this year, and of course, we made time for some yummy seafood at Isogiya! […]
Convivium Osteria
I am always looking for a new restaurants who serves delicious food. In New York, there is a new restaurant popping up all the time, it is hard to catch them all. Recently, I was invited by this lovely “mom and pop” Italian restaurant to try some of their food in Brooklyn. I love Italian […]
Restaurant Kamahei
In Japan, you can find a tasty food anywhere and everywhere. During my visit in June, I discovered this spot that offers Japanese-style Western dishes at very affordable prices. I heard this spot used to be a sushi restaurant in the past. They had some parking spots right in front, very convenient. We arrived before […]
Casa Alitalia Lounge @ JFK
When we traveled with JAL in the past, we used to go to Air France Lounge at JFK. However, it seems like JAL has changed its lounge partner to Casa Alitalia, almost right next to Air France Lounge. We never used Alitalia lounge before, so we were both curious and a bit worried… We were […]
Mavi’s Coffee and Patisserie
After looking for a new brunch place that open early in Fort Lee, NJ, we found this spot. It looked like a regular residential house, which was interesting. They had a shared parking with other business in the back, which had a sign that says Valet Parking Only. However, early in the morning, there was […]
Standby
While I was in Detroit, there were a small handful of places that I really wanted to visit. This spot was one of them. From looking at their menu, it seemed it would be better if you could go with group of people to share small plates… So, I managed to get one of our […]
Roast
While traveling to Detroit on business, we had a nice business dinner. The restaurant of choice was Roast, in which I hand-picked after some serious research… I have a reputation to uphold! We had a reservation, and a nice, friendly hostess greeted us and took us to our table. They had a large bar near […]
Abiko Curry – NJ
We first visited Abiko Curry in Manhattan a few years ago, and we loved their food! When we found out that they have a location in NJ, we decided to go for a visit. They had a couple of parking spot alongside the building, and a few more spots in the back. The inside was […]
Cannelle by Matt Knio
My business trip took me to Detroit, and I don’t remember the last time I was in Detroit… The city has grown, and still is growing, with more business and improvements throughout the city. This was a very short trip, but I still managed to visit one café for a breakfast one morning. The inside […]
